OLYMPIA, Wash. -- Authorities say two young children were hit by a car Thursday in Thurston County.

It happened along Cushman Road in the Seashore Villa neighborhood, according to the Thurston County Sheriff's Office.

The boy was airlifted to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.  The girl's injuries are considered non-life threatening, according to the sheriff's office.

Officials say the driver is the children's neighbor and is cooperating with investigators.
